MAC x Mickey Contractor discussion

So, exactly how do you plan on using it? I may be curious enough to try it if it's something I can/will use.

the mail reason im getting it is for my under eye circles. I plan on using the coral shade and if its too dark ill just mix in some yellow until i can see that my circles are gone and then throw on my usual concealer over it.

I also read that if your regular concealer is too dark you can mix it with the yellow or if its too light you can mix it with the coral shade so it can match better. I like this idea because i turn different shades in the winter and summer so i dont have to keep buying different shades of concealers. Hopefully it works just like it says it does.

The decision is really not easy

I got darkly my dear so i didnt get sur. an im much darker than you so i feel better for not getting sur lol.
When i received the email this morning i ended up browsing again, caved in, and bought flesh lipglass and the corrector

When I got home late last night the black box was on the counter with lonely Ivy in it. UPS came after I left for work yesterday afternoon. Ivy is so pretty . I would like to wear it today but have no idea what look I could do.......any suggestions? I dont look all that great in neutrals btw

I love that idea of mixing the yellow and coral. With your suggestion, I am now seeing the beauty of this corrector.

I am interested in the Bobbi Brown peach corrector too but I worry about it staying creamy in these winter months for me. Mac studio concealer freezes up on me in my house.

my studio concealer looks like an icicle lol. I was also scared about the bobbie brown concealer. I guess i will have to check it out in sephora or nordstrom one of these days

Good point - I don't see any "Collection Looks" on the website for these latest collections.

It would be lovely if they put up some face charts, but they haven't been putting up the charts for the last 5 or so collections.

My UPS box finally got here. I wish we got black boxes here because that would make it even more exciting. Saffron eyeshadow is gorgeous in person. I haven't tried it on my eyes yet, but it looks versatile. It's browner than I expected which pleased me very much.

you're right! the wanting never does end! lol! the liner has help up very well throughout the day. i can see myself using it alot now and my other fluidline. i usually use pencils!

My order is still listed as pending on the Mac web site. I got a confirmation from them, but it doesn't show as shipped yet. Wah! I don't want to have something "fall out" of my basket. Siahi now shows as sold out on the Canadian web site, but that didn't happen for more than a day after my order went through. I'm still hoping that they're just being a little slow at updating the web site information...

i'm sure you're going to get siahi because i got mehr a couple of hours before it was sold out and i didnt get a shipping confirmation until the day i got my order even thought it was shipped before lol

My order for Gana came today. Even though the color range itself is not overly unique, I don't have anything like it. Its a very very smooth soft light champagne ivory with very subtle gold to it. Its not as yellow toned as Too Chic. Just soft & Beautiful on. I also used it as a wash over my eyelids & it was really really pretty.

Cool, I already have Brave which I love, so I don't need Mehr. Except it sounds like it is a Matte that has a finish like a matte. So I am going to end uup paying evilbay prices for this, I fear. Unless, has anyone tried ordering from a Pro store? I guess maybe I can beg for a CP from Canada or Europe. Or, I could let it go and wait for the next obsession to take hold.

Now I am starting to panic that I did not order Saffron. Hmm, these threads can be treacherous

I think Brave would be a good dupe. Check out this link. HOpe it helps!

I'm not too crazy about Matte finishes but i do love Satin! I wasn't planning to get Mehr because of this.

I just posted a pic in the swatch thread of me wearing Mehr. I can sorta see what Mac says about it being a dirty pink, but I like to call it a rosey brown anyway.

My lips feel so abused between the winter cold and all these swatches I do.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I got my goodies for this collection too!!! I only bought two items: Siahi and Saffron but loooove these two so much! I find they both swatch amazing. I'm especially looking forward to wearing Saffron, looks like a shade that will bring out the gold in my amber eyes

 

[Rinstar]

BOO!! My Mehr isn't coming until Monday, I guess because of the snow! The tracking says "due to emergency conditions beyond UPS control" it won't come til the end of the day Monday! dammmmmmnnnnn

Shontay -- it looks beautiful on you.. names don't matter, trust me... I work with numbers all the time, and when they are given final names, I

Thanks, HerGreyness.

Now that I want Lust to put on top of Mehr, it's out of stock. Isn't that awesome? I'm not going to the store any time soon either. Oh, well.I'm still debating on Flesh lipglass. I've heard couple of raves.

 

[User38]

lust is perm tho isnt it? .. and it's out of stock.. lol -

yea, I noticed even Mocha was out of stock ! people get all hysterical and buy whatever is listed in the collex.. that's why Carbon keeps coming out in every collex.. it's called merchandising your existing inventory.. lol
